This is very nice, but how do people find it from either FreeDOS.org or
fdos.org (the sites we were given).
I know, bunches of stuff spread out...
Anyway, for a while now (since both are hosted in cvs there) both
FreeCom and the Kernel have their own sourceforge pages
http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/
and
http://freedos.sourceforge.net/kernel/
respectively; which are mentioned on the FreeDOS sourceforge page
http://freedos.sourceforge.net/sourceforge.php
which one finds from the link on the main page (any mirror) titled
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' under 'Developers' section.
The kernel page on sourceforge is the one I try to give to people to go
to 1st as it has useful links and more importantly whoever maintains the
kernel is likely to use it (so in the future that url is likely to still
work); of course its easier for me to update my own site, so from there
I redirect users to my fdos.org site. :-)
Once I get around to making a proper release of latest sys (v3.6 or so)
then this information will be included within html-help documents (the
link on sf is the updated help file, not yet included) and can be found
for online viewing (being html documents :-) at help.fdos.org, or in
particular http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/sys.htm
If I go to
http://freedos.sourceforge.net/
and then choose "Documentation" it takes me to something completely
different, with FAQs, and I can't find the actual docs related to
command line switches...
From there the command line help will be within the spec or manifesto
(or something), which lists all commands and their basic usage that
FreeDOS aspires to meet [so not all are available and/or match those
command line arguments].
Yes I should work better with the fd-doc project, but hey no ones perfect.
I do want to redo fdos.org, move all my DOS related stuff there,
rearrange to make it easier to find the desired whatever, and most
importantly make it as easy/automatic to keep updated. (hint, so
suggestions off list are welcome)
